After saying that he wanted to adopt Ian as his adopted son, white-bearded Edward Newgate kept staring at Ian closely, wanting to see his reaction.

The current Dragon Hunter Pirates, the captain and vice-captain's bounty combined, has reached 11 billion beli, and Whitebeard also learned that the Dragon Hunter Pirates have now absorbed several more demons Although these people with fruit abilities are not very strong now, they will gradually grow up over time.

So for Whitebeard, the Dragon Hunter Pirates are a huge potential stock.

Since the Pirate King Roger was executed more than 20 years ago, Whitebeard is the only one left in the same era as Roger. He knows very well that the navy cannot tolerate him, and sooner or later he will be I want to withdraw from this stage.

Although he was mentally prepared, Whitebeard was still a little unwilling. Now that he was the Four Emperors, he no longer had any thoughts of competing for supremacy. His only wish now was to watch his sons be able to Living a stable life is a beautiful wish, but it is also difficult to realize. Whitebeard knows very well that once he dies, the Whitebeard Pirates will be severely attacked by the navy.

Just like after Roger's death, the Navy has been pursuing the crew members on Roger's ship...

Whitebeard and Roger had been fighting for so many years. Even if their enemies were old friends, after Roger's death, he also lost a shield, and all the navy's spearheads were pointed at him.

It is precisely because he knows the consequences of his death that Whitebeard has been thinking of ways to expand the power of his pirate group over the years. He wants to leave enough trump cards for the Whitebeard Pirate Group to protect his sons.

I have to say that Whitebeard is indeed a very good father. Even though his sons are just adopted sons and have no blood relationship with him, he treats these adopted sons more like a father than a real father. …

Whitebeard was very happy to be able to successfully convince Ace and make him his son, and through Ace, he met Ian again.

With the strength that Ian has shown, no one will have any objections to him taking the position of captain among the Whitebeard Pirates. Moreover, this position is probably very high. Whitebeard is jealous of Ian. Because of his love for talents, he also wanted to accept him as his adopted son.

Not to mention, Ian himself leads a pirate group, and even his vice-captain is a figure who can also rival the admiral.

As long as the Dragon Hunter Pirates join Whitebeard's banner, the Whitebeard Pirates will immediately expand in strength!

Therefore, he was very concerned about Ian's answer. When he sent out the invitation, he specially called all the other captains to bear witness.

However, Ian's answer disappointed him.

After hearing the invitation from Whitebeard, Ian smiled and shook his head and said: "Dad, thank you for your kindness, but I can't join your pirate group!"

Calling Whitebeard dad is just because he and Ace are brothers, and it is just a name for Whitebeard by people of the same generation. It is like calling an old man uncle when you see him, but it does not mean that he is really your uncle. Likewise, Ian admired Whitebeard as a person, so he still used the honorific title for him.

However, from the beginning, Ian had no intention of joining the Whitebeard Pirates.

Hearing Ian's answer, Marco and his group of captains were a little surprised. During this time, Ian and their group of captains have been getting along really well, and they had already guessed what the white-bearded father was thinking. , thinking that Ian would definitely not refuse, so today I originally planned to witness the birth of a new family member, but unexpectedly, Ian declined! ?

This caused a sudden commotion among the captains, and they exchanged words with each other in surprise.

Marco and the others were surprised, but Whitebeard was not. He just sighed slightly and said: "Sure enough..."

In fact, according to Whitebeard's temper, just like when he first met Ace, he could have offered to accept Ian as his son when he first met Ian.

However, when he met Ian, Whitebeard could see the difference between him and Ace from Ian's eyes.

Come.

Whitebeard could see the loneliness and longing hidden deep in Ace's eyes at the beginning, so he understood that Ace and his sons were actually the same kind of people. This was what he saw when he first met Ace. , the reason why he directly reached out to him.

But Ian's eyes are different. There is something hidden in Ian's eyes that Whitebeard cannot say. His eyes are very gentle, but he has his own persistence. Whitebeard cannot be seen in Ian's eyes. confused.

So at that time, Whitebeard hesitated and did not tell Ian about it immediately. Instead, he invited him after several days.

He originally wanted to spend some time with Ian through his sons and gradually recruit Ian to join the group, but unexpectedly, he was still declined.

As a time traveler, although Ian doesn't say it, he still has his own arrogance in his heart. Although he can't estimate his achievements in this world in the future, how can he be someone who succumbs to others? What's more, in this way?

On the contrary, Ace is a little anxious. He is actually the one who wants Ian to join the Whitebeard Pirates the most. Ace does not have many friends. Ian is the first friend he has met after going to sea. He had always wanted Ian to join his Spade Pirates, but Ian refused because he was a pirate hunter. Finally, now, Ian has become a pirate, but Ace He also joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so naturally he wanted to get him to join him.

Ace's current psychology is actually very simple. He just wants to share good things with his friends and brothers. Whitebeard's mind convinced him and made him completely recognize Whitebeard. He felt that the Whitebeard Pirates It's very good, so I wanted to share it with Ian.

So, he immediately asked: "Why? Ian, isn't it great that we two are in the same pirate group together?"

However, before Ian could answer him, Whitebeard burst into laughter and said, "Ace, stop talking, your brother is very ambitious! He actually wants to be an ally with Whitebeard. Cooperate with the Beard Pirates, right?”

"You can't even call it cooperation!" Ian smiled and said: "Dad, thank you very much for helping the Dragon Hunter Pirates to rescue the Dragon Hunter Pirates this time. I will remember this sentiment and it will be useful to our Pirates in the future. Please tell me where you are!"

"Hmph, I misjudged you at that time. I didn't expect you to be an arrogant kid!" Whitebeard snorted, grabbed a wine barrel and twisted it gently, using it as a wine glass. He poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and then wiped it. He wiped the wine from his mouth and said, "I'm Whitebeard. When will you, a pirate group of dozens of people, need you?"

"That's not necessarily the case!" Ian smiled and said, "It's always good to be prepared!"

Whitebeard will no longer struggle with this issue. In fact, he also has many independent pirate groups under his command. In Whitebeard's view, Ian may just be reluctant to let go of him, so he wants to become the same as the independent pirate group. existence.

Although Ian was not able to join the group, Whitebeard didn't care much. The relationship between Ian and Ace cannot be erased. There is this relationship between the Dragon Hunter Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates. That's really no different from an ally.

After he drank the wine, he threw the barrel into the sea and laughed: "Anyway, while everyone is here, let's have a banquet!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the Moby Dick immediately cheered after hearing this.

For Marco and the others, although Ian did not become family, they were still friends. They immediately surrounded them and pulled Ian and Fujitora over.

Not only that, other members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates were also notified and arrived, which made the banquet look like a social gathering between two pirate groups...

Ian was drinking and having fun with Ace, Marco and a group of other young people, while Fujitora got together with Whitebeard and a group of older people.

The atmosphere was very cheerful, and everyone kept laughing and joking for a long time. Later, I don’t know if he drank too much, but Fosa, the captain of the 15th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, stood up staggeringly and called his name to join Yi. Let’s discuss it...
